Samba server works, yay. BUT insecurely.

It appears the whole problem I've had with my is RedHat's iptables firewall setup. Currently, in order for it work, iptables services is currently disabled. What I need to know is what I need to add to iptables in order for it to allow whatever port needed to connect between my computers. Otherwise, it's completely open and I'd rather just be able to tell others (in my documentation) what to add in the file in order for it to work decently. Thank you.

EDIT: In case anyone's curious, here's my original Samba thread.

Opening up ports 137, 138, and 139 should do it.

UDP? TCP? Sorry, but could just be a little more specific than that?

TCP for 139 and UDP for 137 and 138.

Though just opening all 3 up for both TCP and UDP would make it fool proof.

I have the same issue and reading the messy documentation over at netfilter, Im stumped as to what the syntax would be for this. Can someone give me a heads up?
